Help..!
I have tried all this week to install component Comport (version 2.60, 2.61 etc) in C++ Builder Professional, But it seems never work!!!
The problem is I just can't compile the Run-time library source and also the Design-time library source becouse the file with extension .bpi or .bpl never show up!!

Please, help me...

I dowloaded and try out the CPort V2.0 on the Visual C++ V6. However when I compile I had an error "fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'bios.h': No such file or directory. Error executing cl.exe."

Where can I get the "bios.h"?

Can anyone help me.
Thanks

Use de Win32 API (Not rated)   Posted by: Rob Gomez on Sunday, July 29, 2007

The 'bios.h' is meant for DOS systems where direct low-level access to the system is required. In order to deal with the serial port in Visual C++ (any version), you can use the Win32 API to access the serial port by means of the CreateFile function and other useful functions. Contact me if you need more assistance.
